12th ACM/IEEE International Workshop on Software Engineering for Systems-of-Systems and Software Ecosystems

(SESoS 2024)

The 12th International Workshop on Software Engineering for Systems-of-Systems and Software Ecosystems (SESoS 2024) provides researchers and practitioners with a forum to exchange ideas and experiences, analyze research and development issues, discuss promising solutions, and propose theoretical foundations for development and evolution of complex software-intensive systems, inspiring visions for the future of Software Engineering for Systems-of-Systems (SoS) and Software Ecosystems (SECO), as well as paving the way for a more structured community effort.

SoS have become increasingly complex and frequently used in highly distributed, dynamic, and open environments. SoS refer to evolving software systems in which constituent systems (themselves systems in their own right) cooperatively work to fulfill specific, complex missions, facing Software Engineering researchers and practitioners with substantial challenges. SECO have also become an important research topic, addressing social issues along with technical aspects of software development. SoS and SECO are closely related and naturally distributed in development teams. In both fields, distributed resources aim at reducing cost and reaching new Information Technology markets. Software Engineering-related problems and challenges are amplified and become more critical when SoS and SECO are analyzed together.

Following the successful editions of SESoS in 2013-2018, WDES in 2007-2018, and the joint editions of SESoS/WDES in 2017-2021, this year’s workshop will focus on coping with challenges and opportunities on the development and evolution of complex software-intensive systems as well as on the modeling and analysis of technological, organizational, and social solutions in this context.

Authors of the best regular papers of SESoS 2024 will be awarded in the workshop closing session and invited to submit extended versions of their works to a Special Issue in the Journal of Systems and Software.

Call for Papers

Paper Submission and Publication

All submitted papers should describe original work and not be published or under review anywhere. The papers must be written in English and will be judged by at least three reviewers on the basis of their clarity, relevance, originality, and contribution.

SESoS seeks two kinds of paper submissions:

  • Regular paper (at most 8 pages): describing original, substantial contributions in research and/or practice; and

  • Position papers and experience reports (at most 4 pages): describing emerging results, lessons learned, and open problems from concrete applications, or novel ideas and perspectives on research.

The page limits include abstract, all figures, tables, and references.

All papers should follow the ACM formatting instructions and be submitted in PDF format via the EasyChair submission system. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to fill an electronic ACM Copyright Form and they will receive further instructions for preparing their camera-ready versions.

All authors should use the official “ACM Primary Article Template”, as can be obtained from the ACM Proceedings Template page mentioned above. LaTeX users should use the sigconf option, as well as the review (to produce line numbers for easy reference by the reviewers) option. To that end, the following LaTeX code can be placed at the start of the LaTeX document: \documentclass[sigconf,review]{acmart}

\acmConference[SESoS 2024]{12th ACM/IEEE International Workshop on Software Engineering for Systems-of-Systems and Software Ecosystems}{April 14-20, 2024}{Lisbon, Portugal}

All accepted and presented papers will appear at the ACM Digital Library, i.e., it is subject to a mandatory registration and presentation of at least one author of each accepted paper at the workshop.

The review process is single-blind (i.e., authors’ information should be included in the paper).

All questions about ACM template should be emailed to Italo Santos (Proceedings Chair) - ids37@nau.edu
